My Take
Sir Bobby Robson represents, to me, the ideal of a football man. A player who wore the England shirt and a manager who guided the national team while winning a UEFA Cup with little Ipswich Town, he combined a fierce competitive edge with a warmth that earned universal affection. The knighthood felt almost incidental beside the respect he commanded in every dressing room. Even after his passing in 2009, his foundation continues supporting people fighting cancer, which is a legacy more meaningful than any trophy. He was a gentleman on and off the pitch, and I hold him in the highest regard.
